Berlin producer Pantha du Prince (Hendrik Weber) has collaborated with a group of Norwegian musicians called the Bell Laboratory for the album Elements of Light. The album features tubular bells, marimba, xylophone, cymbals, chimes, handclaps, finger snaps, and a bell carillon (a three-ton instrument containing 50 bronze bells). It's out January 15 via Rough Trade.

The LP is broken down into five tracks, each named for an element of light. Instrumentalists on the record include Martin Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist), Erland Dahlen, Håkon Stene, and Heming Valebjørg.

Pantha du Prince will tour North America this fall, performing music from 2010's excellent album Black Noise and other recordings. An Elements of Light tour is being planned for next year.
